American Deu- tiets. the best means of preserving the teeth were discussed. and Dr. Richter. of Bresian, said : “ We know that the whole method of correctly caring for the teeth can be expressed in two wordsâ€"brush, soap. In these two things we have all that is needfiul for the preservation of the teeth. All the preparations not containing soap are not to be recomminlied, and if they contain soap all other ingredients are useless except for the purpose of making their taste agreeable. Among the soups the white castils 8031) of the English market is especially to be recommended. A shown- of tooth preparations has been thrown on the market,hut very few of which are to be recommended. Testing the composition ofthem. we find that about 90 per cent. are not only unsuitable for their purpos, but that the greater part are actually harmful. All the preparations containing salicylic acid are, as the invsstigatione of Fernier have shown, destructive of the teeth.

Chief Deputy Knopf says the number of victims of the railways since last new year‘s is no: less than 250.8.ud there is still nearly a. week to furshur increase the lint. “ Just think of it,” continued Deputy Knopf, who is also a. State representative, “ 250 people killed in Chicago by the rail- ronda in one year and 1,000 in four years! I tell you. it is a. disgrace and a shame. That is altogether too many lives to be sacrificed. Last year there were 200 peo- ple killed by the cars, and there is on in- oresse of fifty for this year thus far.” " What is the reason for this large num- ber of accidents 7" " Why the trains are run too fast.

In the Legislature last summer l introduceds Bill compelling all raierads to put gates up at ewry crossing.

With gates at every oros:iu I believe that trains could run at 25 an 30 miles an hour with little or no risk to the people." _ . - u - u A little girl of tender yenra‘.who had been unending one of the public kinder- gartena, fell from aladder.

Don't trample mercilessly under foot the wishes of a. child, but respect them as far as possible. ' . Mayor Oregier was shocked when informed by an Evening News reporter that Ihs deaths of seven people killed by the rmlronds were reporjed this moguing. " This running of trains inside the city limits.” he said, ” is s most difl‘ioult prob- lem to solve, sud doubtless it will take a great deal of experimenting before some preotiosl plan is arrived at that wul insure the maximum of safety to everybody. It is all very well to talk about compelling the railroads to run slowly, but the moment we put s. check on the speed the people actually come en masse to pretest against the low of time they are compelled to undergo. We had a meeting of a. special council committee and the railroads here some time ago and the question WuS_dlB- cussed in all its phases. lhe railroads urged that they should be allowed to run faster than the time allowed them under the"old ordinance, which prescribes 10 miles an hour, because at that rate school-buys, trsmps,snd any one else could jump on trains and steal rides and risk their lives, while at a faster rate they could not get on. I suggested that the city be sub-divided, and that trains be elloiaved to run fast in thinly settled districts and be required to go slower in the more densely populsted oivimons. The matter was compromised by inserting a safety-gate clause in the ordiusme and fixing a rate of spetd accord- ing to the distance from the centre of the city. I believe that will help settle the question of so many deaths by the rail- roads. and I hope it will.” When you promise a. child something don’t forget to fulfil the promise to the letter. Don’t ever leis him see in you a trace of the “ I’m-biggepthan-you‘nnd-yon’ve-got- tic-mind " Spirit.

At the end of every year there comes the question : “ What has become of the re- sults of the year’s productions? " it is said that the nelioa is adding to its wealth a thousand millionsyenrly ; in what form ? It is not in monetary circulation. It is not in claims against Other countries or own- ership of property there. The crops of the year we shall presently consume, or if part is to he sold abroad, the goods re- ceived in exchange will presently be con- sumed. Where is the additional wealth of which we boast? Is it only in a higher valuation of lands and buildings and other fixed propertyâ€"e valuation which may be lost with the next turn of the wheel? These questions are no: so childish as to many they may seem. It is of no small importsnoe to discover what form $he added wealth of the nation takes, so that we may judge how far is is solid and lust- ing and capable of reproduction For it all the lands of the country were worth 10.000 millions a year ago and 11,000 millions now, but can produce. no more man Delete. the added wealth is imagiusry. 0: it there has been added within a few years 2,000 millions to the nominal value of rail- road property. without any increase in the yearly edmiug power, what actual gain in wealth is there ? The foundation of prosperity is the land, and every year witnesses on some! increase in the number of acres reduced to cultiva- tion and produciivenesr. That change means increased wealth. From 1870 to 1880 th-re were added of improved land about 96,000,000 acres, or more than 50 per cent, and there is every resson to believe that the progress in that respect has been even more rapid dming the past decade. But the addition of 15,000,000 sorts of improved lend every year involves perma- nent investment of labor in clearing. fenc- ing, breaking and road building, in the erect-ion of houses and barns, and the pro- curement of stock and implements and machinery. The new railroad, which may not pay 9. single dollar to owners as yet, may neVe-riheiess have made posiible and profitable this enormous expenditure of labor in the creation of new terms, and it the 15,000,000 acres yesrly Were worth no more than the avarage of land in 1880, that alone would represent an addition 0! 400 millions or more to the national wealth each year, even though nothing had been added to the price of land previously culti- vated. But the completion 0! reads and roilrmde, the settlement of other lands near by, and the gradual development of a community, also add largely to the actual as well as the nominal value of all farm property within the circle‘ot influence. ‘ Fond fatherâ€"How am I to know, air, that you are what you represent yourself to be; a. count?

Property of that kind contributes as truly as any other to the weslth producing power of the country ; dwellings no lese than stores, or warehouses or lactories. But in addition there has been each year an enor- mous addition to the manufacturing plant, apart from the buildings otherwme esti- maied; to the machinery in use and its promciive capacity. It is not so easy to form even an approximate of the value of these additions, but every one realizes that they must be large. Moreover, new mines are constantly opened which add miilions every year to the production ; the new mines in the Lake Superior district alone, which have been added Withlfl the past fiVe years, have increased the production more than 4,0L~0,000 tons each year, in value, “Emma - , .. .. ,. “ l'Atlael: some more wakings and sleep- ings,’ says Ralph Waldo Embraon, ‘ 1 shall he on thls couub asleep, then dead. and through my guy entry men shall carry these bones.

The average salary paid to ministers in Protestant churches is less than $1,000 per annum. Prominent law- yers like Joseph E. Choate, Robert J. Ingersoll and beujamin F. Butler make all the way from $75,000 to $125,000 each year. Among physicians. Dr. Loumis earns from $50,000 to 060,000 ; Dr. Polk from $40,000 to $50,000 ; Dr. Sayre about 050.000, and a dozen more might be named who earn over $25,000 annually. Compared to the salaries paid the managers of large finan- cial institutions, the reward of the greatest preachers in the land seems paltry. The highest salary paid a clergyman in New York is $20,000. and Dr. John Hall is the fortunate indiVidual. There are, perhaps, a half-dozen other preachers who get from 010.000 to $15,000, but it should be remembrreo that they repesent the wealth- iest parishes in the city, and that they assume as much responsibility as that devolving upon the heads of great moneyed institutions. This Will be apparent When we regard the churches under their direc- tion irom a purely financial standpcint. Trinity Church corporation owns millions .upon millions in real estate. its annual income is nearly $800,000. The bulk ob ‘ this Vast sum is paid out in church work ; each year, and Dr. Morgan bar, the rector, i presides over its distribution. Dr. Hall’s 1 church has a plantâ€"if this term may be i allo Nedâ€"valued at $2,000,000. The in- {GUIDE irum pew rents and contributions 'amounts‘to nearly $250,000 per annum ‘ Most of this is spent in missionary work. 1 List year the congregational eXprnsBs, in- ‘ eluding the pastor‘s salary, the mueio and all incidental items. foozed up $35,601. The balance of over $200,000 was applied to domestic and foreign missions. the 11-1181 fund 01 the Presbyterian Church and to miscellaneous charities. In view of this remarkable showing, it cannot be doubted that Dr. Hall earns his salary. Some dithflfl have been received of the recent; massacre of exiles in Sibuia.

How the Exquisite Convinced a Woman That He Was Honest if Forgetfnl. All but one seat in a Fifth avenue stage was occupied when a ireehiaced young girl got in and settled sweetly into a vacant apnoea, says a New York letter to the Indianapolie Journal. She found the pocket in he: Very stylish skirt after an aseiduous search of some momenta, and then, in the inevimble manner of her sex. produced a 25-oent piece. No Woman, let it be said, was ever known to possess the requisite 5- oent piece in an omnibus. They carry quarters for the sole purpose of permitting young gentlemen to get change for them. This particular maiden chanced to be eit- ting opposite an exquisite youth who cuts a brilliant figure in the selectest circles of society here, and it was natural that he should be the one who responded to the coy glance of her eyes and relieved her of her awkward coin. With all the grace for which he is remarkable he passed the money up to the driver. and, after waiting the usual time, recdved the envelope in return. A2 is the custom in these cases. he tore upen the envelope and handed the change to the rightful owner. But‘ then. inrtend of placing the nickel in the fare box. he quietly put it in his own pocket and ‘ resumed his seat. with us. Band 200. for terms.

The pro- posal is to embark and land these mails at Hollyhead, North Wales, instead of at Queenstown na heretofore. It is claimed in favor of Ike change that it would be more conwnient, quite an expeditious and much more economical than the pleasant arrangrment. The leading steamship comp-miss are diepostd to lock favorably on the scheme. as the handling of the mails at Hollyhend would be easier and involve less delay than at Queenstown. Of course no one said a word, not even the fsirmiid herself. B.ufi every one in the stage detected the action and Wondered st such a good-looking young gentleman being guilty of such an ineigmfi ant theft. Presemly the driver discovered that a. fare was missing from the box. He immedi- ately began ringing his bell at eterrlfic {late and the occupants of the stage smiled in embarrassment at one another» The premy girl looked out of the windéw and smle pained and horrified glances at the criminal who sat opposite. Suddenly he realized what he had done Drops of cold perspiration started from his brow and he grew pale from mottlfil‘flli'ln. Every soul in the siege, including the innocent- eyed Eiri, beiieved that be was nothing else than an elegant burglar.
